BouquetsWhat did we do well?What features of K12 Online 2007 should be included again next year?
Compliments are also welcomed. ;-)
Alice Mercer liked the different formats and time signatures.

Many were a shot in time type presentations based in video. But the Seedlings is an example of a presentation where the initial part is just the beginning, since participants join a Ning social network which will continue to build over time.

The tools part was really focused on pedagogy, not just tools, which was nice.

Lots of emphasis and ongoing analysis and reflection and not just in PD strand

Suggestions For Next YearWe're already looking ahead to next year.
Your input is important to us.
You have the floor ... ;-)

Alice Mercer suggests: Tear Down the Walls....

I suggested a strand on tearing down walls of access and although Obstacles to Opportunities had some great examples, I think you need to have step by step of building an advocacy campaign

Other peoples suggestions that could fit in this theme:

Student strand: Tear down the walls between students and teachers - interactive international student panel

More international input: Tear down the walls between countries, not so U.S. centric

Pedagogy: Continue to tear down walls between tools and pedagogy

Interactivity: Add interactive discussions to presentations - watch together and toss thoughts at each other
